Reaction: ADP + D-ribose 5-phosphate = phosphate + ADP-D-ribose
Glossary: ADP-D-ribose = adenosine 5'-(5-deoxy-D-ribofuranos-5-yl diphosphate)
Other name(s): ; ribose-5-phosphate adenylyltransferase (ambiguous); adenosine diphosphoribose phosphorylase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: ADP:D-ribose-5-phosphate adenylyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the single-celled alga Euglena gracilis, catalyses an irreversible reaction in the direction of ADP formation. cf. EC 2.7.7.96, ADP-D-ribose pyrophosphorylase.
